I got a phone call from an RJ member who was oncerned by this thread. He wanted to be sure I was OK. First I knew about this, we hadn't been at home, and I didn't use my iPad as much as I usually do.. We talked on the phone for 2 hours, which was fine, because we hadn't spoken in a while.

What a lovely gesture to phone me! Some RJ members are so nice! I handed the phone to my husband, whom he knows, so they could speak, too.

I invited him to a social function next week, but he's gotta see if his friend, also invited, can attend. I hope they can. A surprising outcome of this thread - I speak on the phone with an RJ friend after a bit of a lapse, and now he may be attending a cocktail party with us next week.
